Taylorsville Temple

The Taylorsville Temple open house is coming us very soon.  We are getting so excited!

I got to go plant flowers in several of the flower beds, and was able to be an usher there twice for the open house.  That was really nice!

My best friend Carolyn's husband Don, did lots of work on the temple, and they invited us to go with their family to the "Sneak Peek" open house for the construction workers and their families.

Mike has been struggling with crazy dizziness, but felf good enough to go.  It was so fun to see the things Don and his guys worked on.  It is so beautiful!

 I got to take my next door neighbor, Inger who belongs to the Salvation Army church.  

Jordan's family came to see it and their kids were so reverent.

Our neighbors, Geisela and Jerry Smith who are not active came too.

I got to take Jaylena and Ila Fae to it the last week it was open.  

The Layton Hills Temple open house was running at the same time so I invited my friend Joyce Billings who moved up to Clearfield to come.  She has been active off and on, but now isn't very healthy, so hasn't been to church in years.  She loved getting to see it.  Gaylene is my ministering sister and I invited her to join us.

We were able to attend the Taylorsville temple dedication at our stake center.  Elder Gong dedicated it, what a wonderful day.  2 days later, on June 4th I was able to work the first shift at the temple.  I was working in initiatory that day, and was able to perform the first initiatory in that temple.  Pretty cool!  I love serving in the temple.  Such a great priviledge and opportunity to be there every Tues. morning.

Uncle Bud was in town, and stayed with us for a few days.  I made an appointment for us to attend the temple together.  His closest temple is 2 1/2 hours away.  I can't even imagine.  We have been soooo blessed to always live near one.  Taylorsville temple is 3 minutes from my house if I hit all the lights green.
